US Open: Jannik Sinner is in a hurry, overwhelmed Vit Kopriva

Flawless start for Jannik Sinner at the US Open 2025: the South Tyrolean tennis player beat Czech Vit Kopriva in three sets, 6-1, 6-1, 6-2, in an hour and 40 minutes of play. Positive test of the Azzurro, who dominated on serve (7 aces and only one double fault) and did well in response as well, never giving the world number 89 a chance. The condition of the San Candido champion seems good, apart from a small discomfort on a finger of his right hand, to which he applied a plaster.

After the first two sets he dominated, the world number one dropped a bit in the third partial by dropping in response but still led the set effortlessly.

The Azzurro will face in the next round the winner of the match between Australia’s Popyrin and Finland’s Ruusuvuori.

Tournament ended with regrets instead for Matteo Arnaldi, who was remounted and beaten by Argentina’s Francisco Cerundolo in five sets with the partials of 6-3, 6-3, 5-7, 4-6, 3-6. After two excellent first partials, the Ligurian tennis player gradually lost all his certainties and was eliminated by the world number 19.
